"Best concert venue in Charlottesville"
"The venue is quite unique, with the stage being a small garage and the audience seating a short stone wall and grassy slope across the street. The cost is a donation for the musicians. I appreciate the sponsorship of this venue. BTW, the acoustics was very good, thanks to controlled amplification. Too many interior venues have sound levels that are not healthy. Here the instruments and singers were clearly heard, even when cars passed between the audience and garage/stage."
"This is a neat location to hear live music for free. You sit on the wall across the street or on the hill, so bring something to sit on if you've got them. The Garage has a basket of blankets to borrow it you get cold. Truly recommend visiting this venue."
"Outstanding and Unique the GARAGE is an excellent place to hear live music. We forgot how nice it is to just sit on the edge of Lee Park and listen. At this time of year its the best and even though it's free we always feel we should pay or contribute to it. We just went for the first time in a while and now we are checking the schedule for upcoming shows.A great way to spend many summer evenings."
"Birthed from the heart of two true artists, this little car shelter has become a seed bursting with life and breath and sound and texture and color. Come rest on the shores of grass, where a street turns into the standing section, and leaves rustle above your head, and brilliance pours out of a little world renewed. Charlottesville wouldn't be the same without it."
